Demand response services

As we transition to a decentralised system, business energy users have a responsibility to be more active and flexible with their electricity consumption to help National Grid maintain the balance between supply and demand.

Demand Side Response (DSR) provides opportunities for your business to unlock value in your flexible assets by reducing or shifting electricity use away from peak demand.

With our Managed Flexibility service, we provide a simple and low-risk route to energy markets and balancing services to help you secure additional revenues and make significant cost savings on your energy bill.

Watch our latest webinar to find out how your business could start monetising it's flexibility.

Identifying flexibility in your operations

Our experienced team of engineers will visit your site to complete a no-commitment site survey. We’ll identify your flexible assets and processes and discuss your operational parameters to agree an achievable level of reduction suitable for you. This will allow us to match your assets to different markets depending on how quickly your assets can respond and how long for.

We are also able to aggregate capacity into various grid schemes enabling smaller assets to provide a response as part of a portfolio which meets the minimum criteria.

Optimising revenue opportunities

Once we have identified your flexibility, our team of market experts will provide an optimisation strategy to achieve the best economic returns. This will include selecting and allocating against the most suitable markets based on your agreed parameters, including ancillary and wholesale markets. We will ensure that now and in the future, as opportunities change, you are in the most effective markets.

Our online platform

Our online platform, SourceOptimisation enables you to manage your participation in the energy markets around any contracted balancing service commitments and also around your own business operations. You can track your performance using real-time metrology, amend your availability when you need to and see when your asset is scheduled for a particular service.

Our operations team provide an interactive online demo to get you set up and familiarised with the platform before your contract start date.
